"Madam President, the European Union gets pilloried and attacked for coming out with stupid ideas from time to time. The most famous one – and I suppose, like a lot of urban myths, it might not necessarily be true – was the story of the fight for straight bananas, for some reason.
Well, the idea that you would restrict someone’s ability to distribute views of panoramas, whether that be for commercial or personal use, is completely and utterly ridiculous. The people who designed these buildings – let us say they are buildings – got paid for those designs. We have been contacted by many people who believe this is just another way for big business to make more money.
Technology was meant to improve our lives. I hope it does. When I was growing up, I could listen to any sporting event in the world on BBC radio. Even though I am from Ireland, we tune into it. I fear in the future that my grandkids will not have access to similar things because of the progress of technology and blocking. That is not what we are looking for. We are looking for progress and spreading culture."@en1
